Former WWE Diva Melina Updates

As you all probably already know by now, WWE Diva Melina was released from her contract with WWE on August 5, 2011.
Not being one to just sit around, Melina is already schedualed to take on another former WWE Diva Serena Deeb, on November 19th at the Womens' Superstars Unleashed iPPV at the ACE Arena in Union City, NJ.
Here from Melina's own YouTube channel (RealMelinaDotCom) is Melina talking about the match...



And here from Womens' Superstars Unleashed's channel (wsuwomenswrestling) is Serena talking about the match...



And even though she isn't working for the WWE anymore, she still got involved in the mini firestorm on Twitter when WWE.com posted an article bashing the Divas titled "Divas of Doom...Or Salvation?"
You can see Melina and the Bella's comments here.

And what's in the future for Melina?
Well of course everyone is expecting a TNA run, with Melina joining Brooke Tessmacher (Brooke Adams), Jackie Moore, Mickie James Mickie James, Tara (Victoria/Lisa Marie Varon) and Winter (Katarina Waters) and becoming one of the TNA Knockouts.
Or maybe she will suprise everyone and head to ROH

Is Melina Changing?

With everyone paying so much attention to Kharma, some of the other Divas have kinda slipped out of sight.
Case in point...Melina.
Melina has held the WWE Divas Championship twice and the WWE Women's Championship three times making "The A–List Diva" a five time (insert Booker T repeat here) champion.
But she hasnt been on Monday Night Raw in what, almost three months?
Oh sure she's shown up on WWE Superstars (in a losing effort against Beth Phoenix), but where's the WWE love?
We know there was some heat between Trish and Melina about her boyfriend John Morrison's match at Wrestlemania.
Melina seemed to feel that she should have been in the match with John, not Trish.
But the WWE gets over things like that right?
(Uh-huh)
Besides, WrestleMania XXVII was back on April 3rd and Melina hasnt been on Raw since January 24th (I think), and that was way before WrestleMania.



On a recent live chat over at her official site (http://realmelina.com/) she said...
"I'M ACTUALLY THINKING OF CHANGING MY LOOK ALL TOGETHER. MAYBE IT WILL MAKE PEOPLE SAD BUT I AM AT A POINT WHERE I NEED A DRAMATIC CHANGE."
Evidently Melina's cap lock is stuck or she likes to shout, but we get the point.

What kind of change is she looking for?
Going back to face again?
I hope not.
I think Melina plays a great heel.
If the WWE would give her a chance to play at all that is.

Melina Versus Alicia Fox at Summer Slam

Melina trashes Alicia - http://www.wwe.com/

You probably already know that the SummerSlam WWE ppv is August 15, 2010 at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, California.
Among the featured wrestling matches will be a Divas match for the WWE Divas Championship between Melina (the challenger) and Alicia Fox (the champion).
This will be the first time this title has been defended at Summer Slam.

Thank God.


The beautiful Melina - http://www.wwe.com/

Maybe the WWE will end this farce and put the belt back into the hands of an actual wrestler.
The only thing I have against this match is the lack of build up.
Melina returned to the WWE on August 2nd on RAW, jumped Alicia and now she already has a title shot.
Less than two weeks build up?
I know Melina is a fan favorite, and she has the skills, mike and in ring.
But shouldn’t they have aimed for a bit more of a build up?
I guess I am just spoiled from "back in the day" when feuds had months of build up.

UPDATE:
Well the WWE did give Melina the WWE Diva's belt as she beat Alicia Fox at last night's SummerSlam.
Best part of the match to me:
It looks like Melina injures her knee early in the match...so Alicia goes to work on her arm.
Brilliant!

And afterwards, Team Lay-Cool interrupted Melina's victory celebration with a one sided beat down.

Wrestling News and Rumors - Victoria/Tara, Jazz, Mickie James and More

Former WWE Diva, and maybe soon to be former TNA Knockout Lisa Marie Varon (Tara/Victoria) will be appearing at the Philadelphia Comic Con on June 11-13 at the Philadelphia Convention Center.
Also appearing there (among the ton of comic book and science fiction stars) will be another former WWE Diva, Jazz (Carlene Begnaud).
For more info go here:

And in more convention news, former WWE Diva Mickie James will be appearing at K&S's "Heat Wave" event taking place on July 10th at the Holiday Inn in Carteret, New Jersey.
Another former WWE Diva, Ashley Massaro, will be appearing there as well.
You can get more info here:

By the way, with both Melina and Beth Phoenix out with torn ACLs maybe letting Mickie James go wasn't such a good idea.
But hey, she didn't get along with Batista so she had to go right?

Since we seem to be stuck on former WWE Divas, Trish Stratus' film Bail Enforcers is in pre-production and set for a 2011 release.

You can check out the website here:

It may seem like most of the news here is about "former WWE Divas", but with the TNA women's division going like it is, "former TNA Knockout" may be being heard more and more in the future.
Tara leaving seems to be pretty much a given now.
If she'll go back to WWE or go ahead with MMA, I don't know.
Sarita and Taylor Wilde both are apparently WWE bound now as well.
Awesome Kong is already gone.
ODB signed a signed a multi-year deal with TNA in November of 2009, but she really doesn't seem too happy there.
And you have both Angelina Love and Daffney on the inactive roster due to injuries.

I had such high hopes for the TNA Knockout division once.....

WWE Women's Championship, Royal Rumble Results

At the WWE Royal Rumble pay per view tonight, Melina became the new WWE Women's Wrestling Champion.
And I put up my crystal ball because Rosa Mendes didn't interfere.
Maybe we were thrown a swerve and Rosa is not what she seems.....

Anyway, this is Melina's third reign.
Lets see how long it lasts.

WWE's Victoria and Melina

Victoria (Lisa Marie Varon) was given a championship match at the New Year's Revolution 2007 PPV, where she would lose to Mickie James.
Just before this match, Victoria formed an alliance with Melina (Melina Perez), with whom she occasionally teams up with for tag team matches.
She even assisted Melina in her backstage brawl with Mickie during the first ever Women's Falls Count Anywhere Match on WWE Monday Night RAW.
